    摘要: An automated method for recycling mixed colored cullet glass (i.e., broken pieces of glass of mixed colors and types) into new glass products. A computer controlled process identifies the virgin glass raw materials, the desired target glass properties, the composition of a batch of mixed colored cullet, and the quantity of cullet to be used in the glass melt, and the computer controlled process automatically determines the proper amounts of raw materials to add to the batch of mixed colored cullet so that recycled glass is produced having the desired coloring oxides, redox agents, and glass structural oxides in the proper proportion. The recycled glass is then used to make glass products such as beer bottles.

    摘要: A system for and method of analyzing a cullet stream prior to batch formulation in glass manufacturing. Cullet is fed onto a conveyor where a real-time composition analysis is performed. Contaminants are optionally removed, and a determination is made as to whether the cullet batch color is consistent with a predetermined tolerance threshold. If necessary, the glass batch formulation is modified in view of the cullet analysis. Virgin raw materials requirements of the modified glass batch formulation may then be communicated to the batch controller before sending batch ingredients to the mixing stage and completing the overall glass manufacturing process.

    摘要: Green glass content of mixed color glass cullet is selectively decolorized by using copper oxide and is used as an input component in a conventional glass production process. To determine how much copper oxide to add, the weight percent of green glass in the provided glass cullet supply is determined and an effective amount of copper oxide to, at least partially, decolorize the green glass is determined wherein an effective amount is determined using a non-linear inverse prediction model between the weight percent of green glass or chromium and/or iron content and the copper oxide. The amount of copper oxide is thus non-linearly adjusted for increasing levels of green glass in the glass batch. To compensate for the darkening of the glass by the additional copper oxide, the redox of the glass may be made slightly less reducing as the amount of chrome and copper is increased.
